St. Tikhon's Seminary is now accepting applications for the upcoming 2018-2019 academic year. Responding to God's call to ministry opens an awesome and profoundly meaningful vocational journey. Receiving pastoral formation through attending seminary is at the core of your response, preparing you to service in the vineyard of Christ.

Many ask about application deadlines. We prefer having materials by early June, as it takes time to contact your references and to conduct a background check. Please know also that you do not need to wait to submit a completed packet. Sending in the application form is a good start, and we will work with you as you forward other materials.

To assist you in the application process, please note the following resources here on the seminary website:

The Seminary Bulletin for 2018-2020 is now available on the seminary website. View this document, here.

Please feel free to contact the Admissions Committee either by e-mail: applicants@stots.edu or for general questions, call the seminary at 570.561.1818. It is most helpful if you also send application materials in to the applicants e-mail address above.

It is also a great idea to visit the seminary during your discernment process. It is most helpful to visit while classes are in session, so that you can sit in on classes, meet administrative team members, attend services at the monastery church, and talk with students. Many find this experience very helpful in making the decision to apply. To schedule a visit, please contact Marshall Goodge, Assistant to the Dean, at 570.561.1818, extension 101, or by e-mail at: mgoodge@stots.edu .

We will be praying for you in the midst of your discernment and application process.
